Book excerpt: Pastor Michael of Ainsworth Baptist Church has taken several months away from his duties to enjoy a well-earned Sabbatical and so Sister Marjory Steeple, stalwart of the church, upholder of traditional values and all that is seemly and decent, has taken it upon herself to write regular letters to Pastor Michael to keep him up to date regarding what is going on during his absence. Sister Marjory also takes the opportunity in her correspondence to make helpful suggestions as to how the good pastor might best improve the running of the church upon his return, and ?nds it unexpectedly therapeutic to o?-load some of her own personal problems at the same time. These problems mainly revolve around her non-church going husband, George, and his unnerving obsession with his own funeral arrangements, their wayward son Christopher, and a blu? old cousin called Murgatroyd Thrip who is diligently (and against all the odds) following his calling to be a maverick missionary in far ?ung corners of the world. Strangely enough Pastor Michael does not seem to appreciate Sister Marjorys sel?ess sacri?ces and insightful suggestions quite as he should.

Book excerpt: Sisters Meg and Sarah Quilliam make sure guests feel right at home when they visit the Inn at Hemlock Falls. Located in upstate New York, Hemlock Falls is a small town renowned for its scenic beauty—and scenes of crime . . . Disaster strikes a mere week before the Hemlock Falls Ladies’ Auxiliary hosts the annual Spring Fete when the festival’s chairwoman—the redoubtable Adela Henry—gives up her job in a huff. Who’s going to judge the justly renowned Jell-O architecture contest? Or stop the members of the Craft Guild from sabotaging their rivals, the Crafty Ladies? More to the point, who’s got the tact, diplomacy, and iron will necessary to organize the booths and settle quarrels over the programming? Hemlock’s mayor hopes to assure the fete’s success when he recruits professional organizer Linda Connally and her staff to take over Adela’s duties. But when Connally’s body turns up in the trunk of a used car at Peterson’s Automotive, Meg and Sarah are back in the detecting business . . .

Download or read book Factual Nonsense written by Darren Coffield and published by Troubador Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2013-05-01 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Joshua's gallery 'Factual Nonsense' was quite unlike any other. Called a 'crazy powerhouse of ideas' it was a kind of cultural think-tank located in the then run-down East End area known as Shoreditch, which would later become a cohesive and creative hub (since rebranded as 'Silicon Roundabout'). Joshua was the driving force that turned the area's fortune and reputation around. Under the auspices of his Factual Nonsense banner, he held some of the most important and influential public art events of the late 20th Century. The first of these was an anarchic swipe at the notion of a traditional village fete called 'A Fete Worse than Death', with some of the biggest but the still yet unknown stars of the art world, including Damien Hirst and Angus Fairhurst, famously dressed as clowns and produced the first spin paintings at the Fete (for sale for the princely sum of £1). Whilst Hirst's spin machine has, from lowly beginnings at the Fete, gone on to appear recently at the World Economic Forum, a billionaire's playground, creating spin paintings for rich oligarch's wives as entertainment, Joshua was to die alone, poverty stricken back in 1996 on the cusp of international fame. Never reaping the rewards that were to come from the economic upturn and Charles Saatchi's Sensation exhibition, his death was a marker for the beginning of an era of international fame and success for his contemporaries and the end of the 'classic' avant-garde. The list of the seventy or so names of people I have interviewed for the book over the past year reads like a who's who of the contemporary art world, with contributions from the likes of Jay Jopling, Damien Hirst, Sarah Lucas, Sam Taylor-Wood, Gary Hume, Gavin Turk, Maureen Paley and Sir Peter Blake. Although Joshua never achieved the recognition that he deserved in his lifetime, he was a pivotal figure in the London art scene during the early 1990's. Josh moved into Hoxton and opened a gallery there and started a veritable art movement, while the place was a neglected London backwater. His lasting legacy was to bring together a group of artists and gallerists and create what is now known as the YBA scene. The text is illustrated with previously unseen photographs, letters and extracts from Joshua's diaries, which give insight into his thought process as well as the deterioration of his mental state towards the end of his brief but eventful life.

Download or read book A Fete Worse Than Death written by Iain Aitch and published by Headline Review. This book was released on 2004-06-07 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Iain Aitch never set out to be propositioned by a dog-bitten Pagan at Stonehenge on Midsummer's night, but these things happen when you travel round England looking for those people for whom the phrase 'summer madness' seems to have been invented. From historical re-enactors to giant vegetable shows at village fetes, Wiltshire crop circle fanatics to Cotswolds shin-kickers, Blackpool stag parties to Cornish pasty sailings - Iain Aitch takes all these in his stride as he goes in search of the English at play in the sunshine (well, occasionally). This is a truly unique and hilarious journey to uncover the bizarre array of hobbies, pastimes, fetes, festivals and fights that occupy the English in their time off.

Book excerpt: Charlemont Hall was once the playground of the Regency bucks and their ladies, communal as some of them were: the favoured few, the hangers on who exchanged sycophantic compliments thrown with abandon at the Prince Regent circa 1810, for weekends of fun, frolics, and pseudo-roman disgusting behaviour in the pseudo-roman disgusting mausoleum-like structures that litter the estate grounds concealed as most of them are by strategically planted rhododendron shrubs that over time have conspired to join forces and almost obliterate the once fine gardens; the strange thing is nothing changes, what goes around comes around as they say. Charlemont Hall was to witness an action replay of this aspect of celebrity behaviour albeit two hundred years later.Successfully surviving the First World War when it absolved itself from earlier sins by bringing injured ordinary working class soldiers hardly fresh from the poppy fields of France into its bosom it continued into the twenties deafened by The Black Bottom and The Charleston played from lunchtime - no-one gets up until noon darling - until dawn the following day. Even the second conflict failed to do any permanent damage to either its fabric or its fortitude once more enveloping the poor unfortunates not lucky enough to be an officer and therefore qualifying them to a billet nerarer the fleshpots of so-called civilisation.So thus, Charlemont hall survived, sometimes by the skin of its teeth, on occasion by the good grace of a Royal patron until the early years of the twenty first century when it was seen by a lady of vision as a location for a rather up-market and very private hotel. In the words of Lady Charlotte Montgomery - 'I will return Charlemont Hall to its former glory, I will carry out essential repairs and restoration at my own expense, but in return you will grant me a long lease and permission to run it as an exclusive hotel, catering for those members of our ruling classes who need privacy in luxurious accomodation where they can de-stress courtesy of their own personal masseusse, reseach in the company of their own personal researcher, somewhere where they can have time to reflect, become one with nature, somewhere to gain peace of mind, a retreat to charge the batteries for those who have the awesome responsibility of making the big decisions that affect us all...' A knocking shop for the great and the good, she could have said, but thought better of it. And so it came to pass...........
